chuck schumer called him at the height of the campaign and said obama is going to win and the u.s. starts to adjust for that. between him winning a race that netanyahu never thought he was going to win and missing no opportunity and netanyahu himself ending up in sort of a messy situation, i think that's interesting and it's an interesting context to the visit. >> mitt romney promised he would make israel his first. >> his first. i want to quickly mention and talk about the hagel confirmation hearings, i'm interested to watch, he will make it through the committee and get confirmed, but how many republicans are going to vote for him? right now only two of 45 are on the record saying they are yes votes. probably about 20 have not said anything. my concern was we know there is not going to be a filibuster. mccain and a few others said no filibuster. that's healthy for the process, but this normalizes bad ap sigz party behavior. if they they treat this as a party line vote, they vote no. i don't want cabinet members to be party line votes. the white house's party controls the senate a

in 2011 the number of blacks under 22 killed by guns was more than triple the number of u.s. soldiers killed in afghanistan. the number of plaque children killed by gunfire since 1979 is over 13 times more than the number of blacks lynched between 1882 and 1968. and since 1969 homicides involving firearms have been the leading cause of death for black males age 15 to 19. that is the leading cause of hopelessness and nihilism and morbidity we see in our young black men who feel themselves one step away from the grave every day. perhaps more tragically, most homicides are intraracial. the vast majority of killers of blacks are blacks. we're killing each other every day. no community is more in deed of gun control, is more in need of rescue from america's gun epidemic than black people, and we know it. we're extremely in favor of gun control. a recent pew poll found blacks far more pro-gun control than white. just after newtown, 68% of blacks said gun control was more important than gun rights while over 50% of whites said gun rights were still more important. 53% of blacks thin

in the last 12 years, u.s. has had 15 different negotiators as we flip between a stick and a carrot. our inconsistency is wrong. we have to bring together japan, south korea and china with us for one long-term consistent process. sanctions are one tool but china necessary but just not sufficient is the absolute key to this. we can have words and sanctions and will be done but that's the key is opening up its interest in to bringing about the stoppage of this nuclear program in north korea. there's no other option. >> right. admiral to switch gears a final time to the sequester and the potential cuts that the defense department could see as part of that if no deal is struck, you know, in your opinion, how impacted would the defense department and our capabilities be by the sequester cuts if they were to take effect? because of how this is coming about the last couple of months, with the defense department actually spending as though we were going to have a resolution to its long-term expansion of last year's bud

former senate leader tom daschle and also the author of "the u.s. senate." welcome. >> thank you. >> on this sleepy siesta day, i want you to try to get obama's mind back on us. if you remember back in the presidential debates he sort of dropped a bomb when he said the sequester will not happen. a couple of his advisers went back and said, well, i think what he meant was, it should not happen. he also tried to shake off the proposal something that congress believed got four pinocchios. this came from the white house. and now according to politico, obama is not really reaching out to senate republicans to try and get anything done. my question to you is the sequester that obama actually wants because he thinks republicans will get the blames for the cuts? or this just a gamble that he didn't think was going to go all the way and as far as it has? >> well, i think the president has come to the conclusion that it's pretty hard to reach a deal right now. it appears that republican, both in the house and in the senate, are really determined to go through with the

but in the u.s., we realize and some of it appears in the manifesto and realize that's not really going on. there's a lot of people who see injustice and there's something deeply wrong with an individual like this and, in fact, in his manifesto he acknowledges that he's basically given up on self preservation. felt like he's already dead. that he died years ago and that now he's lashing back at people he feels have persecuted him. we see very similar themes with suicide terrorists but the strange thing is we haven't similarly recognized that just because they spout rhetoric about injustices and waging war that's not a true motive also. >> you also write that the differences between mass killers and suicide terrorists lie in how they're shaped by cultural forces and which destructive behaviors they seek to copy. what sort of cultural forces are you talking about and is there something about american culture that has led to this situation of mass shootings? >> in general, there's different forces. there's pop gran da, terrorist propaganda and instructs suicide bombers and other suicide at
